German rescuers are attempting to save Timmy the stranded humpback off Poel island by using large air cushions to lift and reposition the whale as part of a wildlife rescue operation.
Rescuers plan to lift the weakened humpback Timmy from a shallow Baltic Sea area off Poel using inflatable air cushions, then refloat him along the coast toward the North Sea. After earlier attempts failed and experts warned of high risk, officials approved a less invasive method deemed minimally risky, though the prognosis remains critical and the operation carries significant danger and uncertainty.
